St. Mellons Link Road “on hold”.
The Council has shelved plans to construct the St. Mellons Link Road which many residents of east St. Mellons believe would have made their lives a misery. With a predicted flow of at least 1,000 HGVs every day as well as and vans the road will, if built, dramatically change the local environment.
Local Councillor Ralph Cook has been providing objective advice to local residents concerned about the road. In recent month he asked the Environment Scrutiny Committee to look at the proposal and they agreed.
During the summer this committee issued a scathing statement questioning the value of the building the road. As a result the Council has put the proposal “on hold”.
Residents have now written to all Party Leaders in the Council asking them to support a resolution to abandon the proposal altogether.
Councillor David English
